Bioidentical Hormone
Replacement Therapy (BHRT)
As we age, both men and women end up experiencing hormonal imbalances – these imbalances and low hormone levels can take a toll on their vitality and well-being. The body’s natural production of hormones also declines, leading to a range of symptoms that affects quality of life.
At Manhattan Medical Arts, we understand the impact of these changes and are offering one of the most effective solutions that goes beyond any conventional approaches – Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT).

Bioidentical hormones are the processed hormones that are designed to mimic the natural hormones that are developed in our body’s glands. Bioidentical hormones are derived from plant sources and are structurally identical to the hormones naturally produced. This key similarity allows for a seamless integration into your system, minimizing the risk of adverse effects and maximizing the therapeutic benefits.
